Backing up a Cloudera Operational Database table

You can backup your Cloudera Operational Database table by creating a snapshot of the table and exporting it to your S3, HDFS, or ABFS bucket.

Create snapshot command takes a snapshot of the HBase table, exports the snapshot to the specified storage location, and deletes the snapshot from HBase after the export to the specified storage location is successful.

Ensure that you have access to the location where you want to take the backup of the table.
You have an S3 or ABFS bucket which you want to use to backup an HBase table in Cloudera Operational Database. For example: s3a://cod-backups/hbase
You have an edge node configured for your Cloudera Operational Database database. For more information, see Configure Edge Nodes.

Run the following command using cdpcli-beta.

cdp opdb create-snapshot --environment-name ENVIRONMENT_NAME --database-name DATABASE_NAME --table-name TABLE_NAME --snapshot-name SNAPSHOT_NAME --snapshot-location SNAPSHOT_LOCATION

For example,

cdp opdb create-snapshot --environment-name odx-wgel6j --database-name jpfy --table-name table_6uf7xt --snapshot-name s1 --snapshot-location s3a://cod-7215/cod--yq3p370r6qro/backupdata

JSON output:

{
    "environmentName": "odx-wgel6j",
    "databaseName": "jpfy",
    "status": "IN_PROGRESS",
    "creationTime": 0,
    "commandID": 1546336350
}

Validate that the snapshot and data is present using the list-snapshots command.

The following command lists the snapshots created in the environment against the Cloudera Operational Database database filters like table name, command ID, and time range.

cdp opdb list-snapshots --environment-name ENVIRONMENT_NAME --database-name DATABASE_NAME [--table-name TABLE_NAME] [--command-id COMMAND_ID] [--from-creation-time FROM_CREATION_TIME] [--to-creation-time TO_CREATION_TIME]
